I thought if a company had a physical location in the states they needed to abide by the laws?
Selling something used as new would be illegal isn't it? My S1 was dusty and it wasn't from a day or three burn in as well.
It's unethical but so are the people selling used S1's for the price of a new one (before they were discontinued)
BITMAIN has a US location/assets ?
That would be another story, yes.
Their website only says that it will be shipped within 48hr and it will have a 90 day warranty. There is nothing else. One of my units looked slightly used or was earlier version with wires attached to PCIe port, but it turned out to be the best, most reliable producer out of all others, which were "new" by the looks and had extra oozing paste. Again, I think that you guys basically have a buyers remorse. Once you are in the plus column, this should fade away.
I find this argument retarded but here's my take on it.
It is clearly implicit that they are new. You are on the manufacturer website, they offer a warranty on these units, they do not state anywhere new or used and they do huge volumes.
Its like if the Apple store sells you a used laptop in a sealed box and tells you its not written NEW anywhere.
In short, BITMAIN stated implicitly that these units were new. How ? by not stating ''used'' and by their situation (big asic player. manufacturer etc.).
I believe customers had reasonable expectations of getting a new product...
Also, i believe custom declaration mentions new products.
(i have law degree if that can add to my credibility)
